Haha what the fuck

Was that fucking Nexialist in the end? Also source.

>It feels like someone is trying to SELL ME SOMETHING!!!

this is both creepy and hilarious

blood stained notes that end in
"it's behind m....."

A Radiohead album

Whats the story behind this?

What's the story behind that webm?

You have to balance being able to fight back and being powerless. If you're too powerful the game becomes a cakewalk and isn't scary as you can just mow everything down but if you're completely powerless the game could devolve into a walking simulator. Though I imagine there's a way to make a game with no enemies, but the idea of potentially finding something scary that could work. But if you want to make a game like that, or really a game where you're completely powerless (like Frictional's games) I think you really need good puzzles since just walking around an oh so foreboding map with nothing on it would probably also get boring.

But you don't necessarily need monsters everywhere.

I legit kinda jumped at this part

quick

name 5 good horror games

...

How the fuck is this hilarious and creepy as fuck at the same time?

Were those men faceless?

cute af

WTF IS HAPPENING I NEED TO KNOW

I prefer being disturbed more than jump scares. Putting you in really forboding situations with threats just outside your field of vision is far more effective in triggering my anxiety. Jump scares just piss me off.

>another thread where newfags don't know how to find source of something
>another thread where other newfags will spoonfeed aforementioned newfags so the cycle repeats endlessly

looks like jews

but what are they doing in the countryside like this

highly suspicious

Its the nightly meeting of the ministry of silly walks.

" 'X' isn't even a horror game, what you thought 'y' was scary? What are you, 12?"

If you can see what you're supposed to be scared of, or have a reliable way to defend yourself, you're not playing a good horror game.

Well, not using humor for a starter makes a good horror game.

Probably a student film or something

...

Penumbra 1 and 2
Silent Hill 1-3

You're confusing cute with sexy.
2D girls are cute.

>people ask for source
>MUST BE NEWFAGS
Nigga this hasn't been posted before and besides you can't reverse search WEBMs

What are some scary parts from non-scary games?
>Pic related

>can't reverse search WEBMs
kek hello, summer

What the fuck
Wouldn't it hurt when it explodes on your dick?

>this hasn't been posted before
>you can't reverse search WEBMs
christ almighty FUCK why do newfags IMMEDIATELY oust themselves at every single given opportunity

try it and report back how it goes

It would hurt as much as getting snapped by a rubber band, you pussy.

The real concern is fitting your dick in that thing. The balloon looks small. I would imagine anyone with an average sized dick to have trouble fitting their whole package in there.

...

Or you know, just get a girlfriend you fucking virgin

Great job asshole, you showed that Reverse Image Search is completely useless. Now tell me where the OP is from.

Immersion is super important. People must feel in control of their ingame avatar, so the control can be taken away from them.

The Ministry of Silly Walks annual meetup.

Subtlety.

Only if she's a virgin too :^)

This

...

do you have youtube sauce for this? I know it's a radiohead music video, but I don't know which it is.

fucking amazing roast my dude
i have never heard this before and there is some real logic behind it

Lurk more, newfag

thanks bud

what the fuck is this from?

Until Dawn

>went in blind
>thought it was a fun homage to classic horror films
>my fucking face when shit starts to get real after the mines

>can't really defend yourself against anything
>can only basically stun them for a step or too and run away
>only thing that stops them is basically blowing yourself up
For a blind first playthrough of a horror game it's pretty good.

>step or too

read the thread you fucking idiot

Alien isolation is a good example of this, you can fight with the enemies, but that will atract the alien, and then you can only temporaly reject him with the flamerthrower.

What about a game with no enemies but it's in space and you have a time limit of a few days that ticks down even when your not playing, to figure out how to fix a broken air filtration system before you die?

I love the idea of stumbling into something you're not supposed to see ala Eyes Wide Shut. Would even love a conspiracy theorist turned fraud Alex Jones-esq character for a lead.

>xcom IRL

how?
how do people even figure this shit out?

necessity is the mother of invention. along with too much free time as a close second

Where can I find this with sound. I need this for a college project.

I'm a virgin because I've had sex with a girlfriend, regretted it, and participated in a ceremony that restored it. I don't see what's so bad about fucking some glove pussy.

You can't restore virginity mate. You want to know why women live longer than men? All of them are succubi and they just stole your mana.

You gotta have a good story. Something that really gets you thinkin'. Not just a generic space monsters story like Dead Space.

>Jump scares just piss me off.
You sound like you have issues. I can just imagine someone watching a horror movie in theater and getting more and more angry every time something pops up

no weapons or barely useful weapons, the player has to feel helpless

He's right though and while i enjoy Dead Space it is almost full of these and it's more annoying than scary.

>Amnesia
>Outlast
fucking garbage

1,2,3. Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3.
4. Outlast(it actually is good despite what Sup Forums may think)
5. FEAR 1 at times
6. Amnesia of course

only scary part was having to hold still at the very end with the monsters around you

>participated in a ceremony that restored it
we /x/ now
